About The Service

Increase your buildings insurance business using real-time residential rebuilding cost estimates from the UK’s leading independent experts.

The BCIS Residential Rebuilding Cost Lookup Service allows the insurance industry to obtain instant, real-time estimates of a property’s rebuilding cost.

The BCIS Residential Rebuilding Cost Lookup Service is an industry standard tool that ensures robust, consistent and validated rebuilding costs.

The service calculates the rebuilding cost of a residential property given minimal details of the property and is based on the BCIS Rebuilding Cost Models already accepted as standard by surveyors and loss adjusters.

Tony Martin, Sales & Marketing Director of BDML Connect says "the BCIS Rebuilding Cost Lookup Service plays an important part in helping our customers get the right cover at the right premium".

Working with Capita Insurance Services, the BCIS team will be rolling out the new service to the general insurance market throughout 2008.

The service is easily accessible using industry standard XML technology. It is competitively priced against other industry Lookup services in general use such as DVLA vehicle checks, HPI credit checks and postcode services.
